Well here it is the day after Easter. The day we celebrate new beginnings. And I must say this year tops them all for me.

I have been following a life long passion for writing for many years. Starting with poetry and working my way into a novel which I just put on Amazon for sale. Thank you GOD for Amazon!!!

The feedback and comments I've received have exceeded any of my hopes and dreams. I guess we don't allow ourselves the pleasure of dreaming too big, lest we tumble and fall. We want to be able to come out of the fall with bumps and bruises, not a broken heart.

I am so glad I finally took the "Leap of Faith" and followed my dream. I hope all of you reading this post will do the same.

Hear is one of my first poems, I think it fitting for this post:

Mr Blind Man

You see the blind man on the corner
well he's the lucky one
For every single step he takes
turns out to be a Leap Of Faith

Mr. Blind Man aren't you afraid
there's obstacles everywhere
He smiled at me, shook his head
"If I cant see them, they're not there"

"What I find inside myself
is all the guide I need
Every step will be shown the way
if only I believe"

How is it that he does it
can someone please tell me
How can he trust in faith alone
believe in something he can't see

Is this really possible
to live life without a doubt
Find that place, that strength within
I've heard so much about

To find this we must stand alone
on the edge of doubt and fear
take one last step, like the blind man
know faith makes the way clear

This would not be easy
to give up what seems so real to me
That's why the blind man is so lucky
faith, is his reality

Often the way becomes cloudy and dim
unless we can be shown
And some roads are traveled easier
if we don't have to travel them alone

So, Mr Blind Man could you help me
believe in something I can't see
I'll close my eyes
look inside
take a leap
and believe in me...
